PulseAudio issues: Manual 'initialisation' + Flash 10

I have a PulseAudio isntallation that on the whole is functioning quite well. I've installed mplayer-pulse, mpd-pulse and libao-pulse and all is configured for Pulse and all is well.
However, two minor issues:
- Despite starting the pulseaudio daemon at startup, I need to manually mute and unmute the output device in pavucontrol in order for pulse to work. Up until I do this, the device works as a straight ALSA output, e.g. I can play an MP3 by running 'mplayer -ao ALSA filename.mp3' with nothing showing up in pavucontrol. Running mplayer without the ao option would use the mplayer output default of pulse which doesn't work at this point. My interpretation of this is that for some reason pulseaudio doesn't automatically assert control despite my running the daemon.
- The wiki says that flash-plugin 10 should automatically pick up on pulse without having to resort to the hacking that apparently was needed for flash 9. Nevertheless, here's what firefox outputs to the command line when I try to play a youtube video:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Obviously it persists in using ALSA - even when I add
export FLASH_FORCE_PULSEAUDIO="1" && firefox
to the mix... Note that this is always the case - also after I've done the mute-unmute routine.
To my mind it looks like there's a missing global pulseaudio link here.... Some setting or other that would automatically make Pulse take control and make Flash discover it rather than perversely persisting in its oldfashioned ALSA ways...? I can get Flash sound output by installing alsa-plugins and adding the bits from the ALSA wiki but it still annoys me, knowing that it shouldn't be necessary....

yes, pulseaudio worked for me out-of-the-box. but especially the lagging made video watching almost impossible and pulseaudio unusable.
Which aren't actually so minor since I do like running all TTY (no X) sessions and no PA developer has apparently cared to make a PA controller for the command line or ncurses, at least what I've found.... So I can't unlock it on those occasions
i think there are cli commands to controls pulseaudio. so you have to write them in a small bash (whatever) script.

2 Issues with ActionScript/Flash

Hello, I suppose I'll make this also a little bit of an introduction, I'm a 20something year old Graphic Design graduate, who has found herself working in a small business where everything is done in house. My job skills have had to be stretched a little, as normally my work only involves photoshop, indesign, illustrator, and dreamweaver. I've never used Flash before, but since the company is moving onto digital media and the motorola xoom I've had to pick it up.
The company I work for has a very large catelog that they put on CD, and they are looking to update it, so I've been making a flash index page for it. The entire catelog is in PDF (bookmarks used as links between various PDF files), but the index page is Flash (I cant acess the origional index file, as it was done several years go). Basically the elements I'll need are 3 links (for website, install cd catelog, and view cd catelog) 1 exit link, and scrolling text. So far I've managed to import the links and images and get text on the page, but I've hit a couple major snags.
1st Issue: Looping the scrolling marquee text. At the top of the index screen I need text to continuously scroll at the top. I tried to find loop codes, but all I found were convoluted tutorials involving 'for' loops and 'for if' loops etc etc and even after reading them several times I have no idea what any of them are saying. I think a lot of these tutorials are made for people who have a basic understanding of flash...I literaly just opened the program today. I was able to figure out the inserting Keyblanks and such so I have text that scrolls across the top screen once (I used tweening for that) but you cant copy or paste, so I'm really at a loss as to how to make the text loop so it continues to scroll across.
2nd Issue: The installation link has me a bit bothered, mostly because I have no clue where to even begin with this. In the old CD catelogs when you click 'install' the 'instal shield wizard' comes up and downloads to the desktop the entire catelog (the cd catalog itself) and a link to the website. Both of which show up as Buttons on the desktop. So one of the links has to be able to do that...and I am entirely at a loss as to how this works in Flash. Is this type of thing even doable in Flash?
I know that this is probably asking a lot, even though its only 2 problems, but if anyone would be willing to help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The first one is the easiest and I haven´t heard about
any issues except that flash will comsume more resources and will
play a little slower. The second one can also be done (repeating an
image all the time with Flash 7 or older, or painting with a tiling
image on Flash 8) even manually, or with some coding.

I am facing issue when opening flash files in Flash CC. (error:- This file was created with a later release of Flash Professional and might contain new features that would be lost when saved in the current format.)

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:
BJReis wrote:
. This may be due to somewhat older equipment:
GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with a 4GB memory computer with Ddr3 running OSX 10.8.4
To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

Hi,
Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
I am facing some migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5:
I am working on a project that has been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 / Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a web page etc.
So, I would like to know:
1) Is there any migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5?
2) If yes: Is there any patch available from Adobe for it?
3) If no: What could be the causes and the best possible solutions for it?
Any help and support would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Apparently some people have issues, but I don't think it is across the board. Here's a link to another recent posting that may or may not prove helpful to you...

Privacy/Security Issue with Adobe Flash 10

Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, but there is a
bizarre (if minor) privacy/security issue with Adobe Flash Player
10. I came across it while attempting to upload a file to Flickr.
Previous versions of AFP do not exhibit this problem.
Specifics: using Firefox 3.x, Vista.
The problem: When Flickr calls the "open file" dialogue in
Flash 10 (in order to upload files) via the "Upload Photos and
Videos" link, at the bottom of the dialogue, to the right of the
"File Name" box, sits a common UI element that brings up a dropdown
menu of what appear to be (or at least are supposed to be) recently
viewed or downloaded or accessed files. Actually I'm not sure how
Flash 10 compiles or accesses this list of files, but at any rate,
a list of files come up.
The problem is that, as far as I can tell, the list of files
that come up reference a long list of files, some that are very old
and that no longer exist, and that there is no way that I can find
to clear the list. This is a minor security/privacy issue, as
generally there should be a way to prevent a dialogue from
displaying a long list of past-accessed files by clearing a cache
somewhere or other -- imagine if it was impossible to clear the
history of a web browser, for example -- this would be considered a
pretty significant privacy issue. I have tried everything from
flushing the browser cache to uninstalling and reinstalling the
browser to uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash to using the
Flash Settings Manager to clear out the Flash saved sites to
turning off Vista indexing to clearing out Vista's Recent Items
list. None of these actions did anything to clear out this list of
files. I can find no references to these files anywhere when I use
Vista Search (with unindexed and system files searched as well),
and I can find no reference to the files anywhere in the registry
(I checked just in case Flash 10 was storing this index in some
really bizarre place.) I've linked to a screenshot below of what
I'm talking about -- most of the files listed below were deleted a
long, long time ago, and so I have no idea why this dialogue refers
to them.
Screenshot
Is there a simple work-around for this that I'm unaware of?
Even if there is, there needs to be some more obvious way to clear
out this list. Where is this information being stored, and what
criteria does this list use to "put a file on the list"?

Thanks for putting me on the right scent. That's what I'd
originally thought, too -- it's just that the file-> open dialog
was giving an entirely different list of files with other
applications, so I assumed that it must be Flash that was the
culprit. Turns out the reason it was different with Flickr was
because it was restricting the file results via a long string of
video and picture filetypes that are compatible with the Flickr
service.
It turns out the information I'm looking for is buried deep
within the registry. The only way to clear out this list of files
is to delete the following key (or specific subkeys):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU
Seems more than a little stupid to store such information in
the registry if security is your concern. Vista beguiles me
sometimes.

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

We all can learn from this.

The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
Good luck.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,
Chris

[SOLVED] X-Autostart, Auto-log-in and DBus : a non-pulseaudio issue

Hello,
besides the not-so-clear title, I've been investigating for what first looked like a pulseaudio problem for a while, and I'm now sharing what I found with you :
Pre-existing conditions
An Arch system with systemd, auto-loggin on a TTY and auto-start of X
Symptoms
Pulseaudio wouldn't start anymore at boot, but everything worked fine if it was started a while after, provided one would have sudo killall -9 pulseaudio before, and there was no major upgrade that could be related to this change.
Journalctl showed dbus related messages, saying that pulse wasn't able to find it, and a general failure in main.c start.
Solution
Actually, a part of the boot process was the following :
|-----> lots of things, and at a point dbus
Init --> |
|-----> auto-logging service (getty stuff) -----> .xinitrc ------> pulseaudio
and there was no guarantee that dbus was already started when pulse audio was.
To add this guarantee, edit your autologging service and add the following
[Unit]
... your stuff ...
#lines to add :
Requires=dbus.Service #I'm not sure this one is needed, if anyone here can confirm it
After=dbus.Service
..rest of the file..
reboot, and enjoy

I know this is an older post, but I'm hoping by bumping it someone will be able to help me with this issue even though the thread is marked as [SOLVED], so that I won't have to create a new post.
I'm trying to set up a host to autologin a user, then automatically startx to enter a desktop environment. I am using these guides:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/au … al_console
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Login
I haven't yet set up the startx at login, but I've done that before, so I don't expect any issues or problems.
I successfully set up autologin using the first link and everything seemed fine. However, on the startx at login wiki, it states:
Tips
This method can be combined with automatic login to virtual console. When doing this you have to set correct dependencies for the autologin systemd service to ensure that dbus is started before ~/.xinitrc is read and hence pulseaudio started (see: BBS#155416)
I don't have pulseaudio issues to worry about, but I do have an exec line to start lxde. So, I followed that link to this thread and created the lines NougatRillettes suggested. Here's the complete file:
/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/autologin.conf
[Unit]
Requires=dbus.Service
After=dbus.Service
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/agetty --autologin <username> --noclear %I 38400 linux
Then, when I reboot the kernel spits this out:
Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: Set hostname to <[Host]>.
Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/autologin.conf:2] Failed to add dependency on dbus.Service, ignoring: Invalid argument
Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/autologin.conf:3] Failed to add dependency on dbus.Service, ignoring: Invalid argument
Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
I rechecked the wikis and noticed:
Tips & Tricks
Avoiding unnecessary dmesg errors
To avoid errors related to display-manager.service in dmesg, you should set the default target to multi-user instead of graphical:
# systemctl enable multi-user.target
So I went ahead and enabled multi-user.target and rebooted, thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't...the error messages were the same.
I'm hoping someone can help...and maybe update those two wikis if there's any information missing. I'm also wondering if I should reverse the last step I described by disabling multi-user.target.

MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

Hello,
My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
TL:DR
Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
My concerns are;
I seem to still have reboot issue.
I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
My questions are;
Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
Was stopping at 47% normal?
Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
Am I missing a step somewhere?
Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.

MFlash reboots in the process. To be sure reupdate using the below instructions and archive for a proper fpt flash. If you used Win8 feature (fastboot) before the first update be aware taht you need to set anything again after an update (e.g. enabling safeboot) as everything is set to default.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (E7817IMS_660.rar.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip

How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide. If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

Issue with Adobe Flash Player- Help

I used to be able to use my webcam! I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player and now I can't use it anywhere!
I am unable to see the Privacy pop-up allowing me to Allow or Deny access to my camera & microphone.
Then when I get to the settings on one site, I see only 3 tabs: Display, Microphone & Camera.
Help?
I have it clicked on my built in iSight.
Before I downloaded the it I clicked on USB Video Class Video and it worked. Now that doesn't even show up!

Since it is nothing to do with FMS and looks like more of a flash player issue - it would be good if you post your query here : http://forums.adobe.com/community/webplayers/flash_player

I use as explorer : Firefox and IE (last versions).
Thanks & regards,

Regarding the link Chris mentioned earlier in airborne007's discussion, I can not open it as IE crash.

No matter if it's a Mac or a PC, FireFox refuses to refresh Flash files. Updated Flash files are showing up as old,out dated, Flash files. Is there an issue with the Flash Player PlugIn?

I have created a simple Flash menu for use on multiple site. They all access the same flash file. My original flash file only had a few links and tabs. The new one has more links, and a "LIVE" button at the bottom. But in Fire Fox, those that saw the original can not see the updated version in FireFox. They see it if they use Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc. This issue comes up on all operating systems. This issue only occurs with FireFox. I've tried clearing FireFox's Cache but that doesn't seem to be working either.
The Flash File can be found on the left side at this link:

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.
